Workman Genealogy & History

Workman is an English surname, from the Old English weorc, for work, and mann, meaning a man. It was often used to describe men with advanced occupational skills, such as jewelers and craftsmen in general. It may also have been used as a nickname for ambidextrous people, as Promptorium Parvulorum suggests. Workman family history starts with Adwordus Wercman, noted in 1214 in the Cartulary of the Priory of St. Gregory at Kent. Some well-known members of Workman genealogy are 1950 Yankees first baseman Hank Workman, initial Salt Lake Couty mayor Nancy Workman, and TV and voice actress Shanelle Workman.
